"Let he who is without sin cast the first stone."

					
My name is Patrick Craig, and I am a teaching assistant at Wright State
University in the CS205 class.  My views are _not_ those of Wright State
University.  I take it that absolutely none of you have ever been first
time usenet posters?  Or have ever made a mistake in your lives?

Our students are human beings, and we're doing the best we can to get them
to post the correct attachment formats to the correct newsgroups. 
Occasionally they will make a mistake, however, and that's human nature.
The so-called "abuse" _is_ unintentional, and it upsets me to think that
you people would try to take it any other way.

If you're looking to vent anger, why don't you take it to professional
counseling?  A more constructive response to this problem would have been
to offer to give us a hand with showing our students netiquette standards.  

I want to thank you all for making the world a more bitter place.
